• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SUB_VALUATION812 - Changes are only permitted in change mode ?

  The SAP error message CM_SUB_VALUATION812 indicates that changes to a certain valuation or configuration are only allowed in change mode, not in display mode. This typically occurs when a user attempts to modify data or settings in a transaction or screen that is currently set to display mode.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is in display mode, which restricts any changes to the data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes.
  Transaction Settings: The transaction or screen may be configured to allow changes only in specific modes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Change Mode: 
  
  If you are in display mode, look for an option to switch to change mode. This is often done by clicking a button labeled "Change" or "Edit" on the screen.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify your user roles and permissions.
  
  
  
  Transaction Code: 
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transaction code that allows changes. Some transactions have different codes for display and change modes.
  
  
  
  Session Management: 
  
  If you have multiple sessions open, ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to make changes in a session that is in display mode.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or module you are working with for additional guidance.
